Will you be checking in any baggage today ?   Yes , I have two large suitcases and one box .   If you need baggage tags , they are found in the box on your right .   No , thank you.They are already tagged with my name and address .   You are allowed an additional two carry-on items .   Good , I have my backpack and my camera tripod .   I see . All carry-on items must be able to fit under the seat or in the overhead bin .   Both my items will fit under the seat or in the overhead bin .   You will need to send the tripod as luggage because it is too long to fit in our gauge box for carry-on items .   I cannot let anything happen to that tripod.Can you guarantee it will not be damaged if I check it in ?   No , I can't . Perhaps your stewardess will help you to find a place to store it .   Good idea . I will ask the stewardess to help me store my tripod .
